chapter 4
there's only 5mins to 9am. everyone is running helter-skelter. All trying look neat and tidy infront of their boss the MAAN SINGH KHURANA (wah! kya naam hai? ufff!!! main tho naam pe bhi fida hoon...lolz), warna uska job khathre main hai. Maan is very disciplined human. he expects everyone to be the same, so no wonder he gets angry if his rules are not followed. but after the office hours he's totally a diff person. very friendly. the siren starts
ringing, the sign of MSK entering the office. everyone lines up to wish him. maan enters the office.
pinky(at reception): good morning sir.
tasha,adi, romeo, manisha and others: good morning sir.
sasha: good morning MK.
maan: adi, pune project ka budget file leke andar aao.
adi: y..y..yes sir, abhi laya.
maan: sasha meri liye coffee bejo.
sasha: right mk.
maan moves into his cabin.
manisha: mera DD(dhak-dhak). kitna handsome hai.
romeo: are manishaji jo nahin mil saktha uske baare main sapne dekhna bandh karo.
tasha: woh tho hai par mujjhe tho mil saktha hai....
romeo: tumhaare liye tho main hoon na, maan sir ki kya zaroorath hai???
tasha: tumne apna chehra dekha hai kabhi??? gutter ke paani se muh dhothe hoge....
manisha: ha ha ha romeo isne tho tumhaari hawa nikaaldi.
romeo: manishaji aap chup rahiye(turns to tasha). tum kaho tho woh bhi kardoonga.
tasha: ewwww how ridiculous!!!
she leaves and romeo goes behind her. manisha makes a face and leaves to her work. here sasha and adi reach
maan's office with coffee and file respectively.
adi: s..s..sir file.
maan: yahan rakhdo. aur london wale client ko abhi phone karo aur meeting fix karo unke saath.
adi: s..sir but u r busy for the next 2 weeks.
maan: adi 2 weeks ke baad bhi meeting ho sakthi hai. meeting fix karo, abhi!!!!
adi: y...yes sir.
sasha: mk aapka coffee.
maan: sasha lonavala ke project ka blue prints mujhe shaam tak chahiye.
sasha: sure mk.
maan: u both can leave now.
sasha and adi: yes sir
they both leave the room. maan finishes his work on his laptop. sighs and starts glancing thru the letters for him. evry letter is business letter but one letter catches his eyes. a red and white envelope, his favourite colors. it has got red hearts on it with white background. he is surprised after seeing it. he had never recieved such letters. even love letters were very common, but this one looked so special to him him a bit. it smelled so good. unknowingly he smiles. somewhat he doesnot feel like opening it yet. he plays it in his hands for while wondering what he should do
abt it. should he read it by himself or ask adi to look into it (afterall he is the MSK). dont know why but he feels really different abt this letter and decides to read it by himself when he gets home. he keeps it in his jacket pocket and continues with work. the rest of the day goes off just fine. everyone leaves for their home. maan too leaves for home.
KM
maan enters the house. he is surprised to see his best friends having a chit chat with his grandparents. they look at him come in and smile.
heer: tumhe nahin lagtha maan ki tum kuch bhool rahe ho???
prem: maan tumhara memory power tho bahut weak hai yaar.
maan: tum dono kya keh rahe ho??? mere samaj main kuch nahin aaraha.
heer: dekh liya daadaji??? aapke puathe ko???
prem: daadima aapka pautha tho kunjoos nikla.
daadi: woh tho aap log hi jaane.
daadu: ha ha ha
maan: daadi aap bhi inke saath mil gayi...??? daadu aap bhi mere taang keech rahe ho???
daadu: maan hum aap teeno ke beech nahin aayenge. savithri chalo andar chalthe hain. bachcho ko baath karne do
(they go in).
maan: tum dono bandar yahan kaise???
prem: yeh lo yeh kush kam aur udaas zyada lag raha hai humain yahan dekhke.
heer : aur waise bhi agar hum bandar hai, tum bhi bandar hi ho, samjhe???
maan: achcha teek hai meri maa....now tell me what's the matter???
heer: tum teek keh rahe the prem, yeh humein dekhke kush kabhi nahi hotha, yeh tho hamesha ki kahaani hai.
maan: uff!!!will u both come to the point or shall i leave???
prem and heer : the MAAN SINGH KHURANA, DUH!!!
heer: do u remember that u had promised us a treat today for getting the london project???
maan: oh i forgot abt it completely....
prem: maan tera tabiyath tho teek haina??? tuuuuu bhool gaya tha??? koi ladki ka chakkar tho nahin hai???
maan gives him a stern look. heer giggles and prem looks elsewhere.
maan: achcha batao ki kahan jaana hai???
prem: disco chalein???
heer: haan bilkul
maan: disco??? huh!!! ok whatever but only for 3 hours.
heer: dont tell me that u have meeting tomo.
maan: hmmm, huh??? yeah...
prem: iska kuch nahi ho saktha
heer: kitne boring ho tum maan
prem: jo ladki tujhse shaadi karegi, patha nahi uska kya hoga???
maan: tum dono ko treat chahiye ya nahin???
heer: lo phir se apna rang dikhane lag gaya. arey chalo mere baap par pehle tayyar tho hoke aao.
maan: teek hai, i'll be back in a few mins.
maan leaves for his room. prem and heer giggle and exchange a hi-fi. after 20 mins maan comes down in jeans and a casual sap-green T-shirt. he looks awesome as ever (my maan đ).heer on seeing him,
heer: aaj bhi ladkiyon ki line lagne wali hai
prem: aur hamesha ki tarah yeh unhe ignore karega.
maan: tum dono sudhrenge nahi (smiles), nautanki baaz...ab chalein???
they all laugh and leave for the disco. as heer had said, all gals ask maan for a dance and as prem says he declines each one of them.
heer: kab tak aisa karoge maan??? kabhi na kabhi tumhe pyaar tho hoga hi
maan: bakhwas bandh karo heer ( looking here and there in the disco)
prem: its not rubbish maan, she's right. u r most eligible bachelor in town.
maan: (turns towards them with a twinkle in his eyes) jab mujhe pyaar hoga, tho saari duniya dekhthi reh jaayegi. there's a certain time for everything to happen, even for love. (little did he know that god had started writing his love story )
prem and heer are happy to hear his response and they smile at him. prem asks heer for a dance and they move to the dance floor. after a while they drag even maan to the floor. they all have a good time and have their dinner. at 11.30 maan bids goodbye to bith and leaves to the parking lot. he reaches his car and starts for home, suddenly he realises abt the letter. meanwhile at KM, daadi while cleaning his room,finds the letter in his jacket pocket. she smiles looking at it. at the same time maan enters the room. daadi looks at him with teasing and questioning eyes. maan sighs and smiles to her.
at HM
geet is standing near the window of her room looking at the moon. she's smiling whole heartedly. she's happy that she accomplished her long awaited job well. she's hoping things will go on as she expects starting tomo. she thanks babaji and her "helper". since its late she decides to sleep and reaches for her bed.
precap: the letter
